Hello my fellow Retro Computing friends
Let me introduce myself. I'm a german based Retro PC nerd – obviously that – who's a bit more than attached to the good old stuff. Stuff they don't make like that anymore in all that RGB-matters-verse.
It all started with an Amstrad PC1512 back in the days and from there on, I took the road where dads dismissed computers led me. 286 / 386 / 486 / Pentium 120. After that it took a turn because I discovered 3D gaming, so I went with starting to build my own PCs. The first one was based on a K6-2 paired with a Voodoo Banshee, after which I went for a Duron 700 who made contact with a sharp pencil and got some wings, then things went onto the Palomino trail with a 1700+ and on to the good old 3200+ on the nf2 platform. After what I was switching around for a few years... Pentium 4... Pentium M @ P4C800-E, A64, C2D and then full stop – nothing more up until 2012 when I got back to having a PC with the 2500k fun but it just didn't feel like it felt back in the days anymore, so I never really upgraded till today anyway and am still on that platform. 6 years ago however, I thought about maybe buying some of the old hardware I had back in the days on eBay and build some nice systems to dive back in that retro feeling of those days. Boy did that thought escalate into something big. Today I have a fairly big collection and just love the retro pc hobby. It just sucked me in and doesn't want to let me out again
I don't mind though.
Let's have a nice time here my fellow crazy ones
